1 RENEWABLE ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE Presented by: Maxine Alexander Nestor Caribbean Community Climate Change Center and UNEP Risoe Centre Caribbean Regional Workshop for Designated National Authorities Crown Plaza, Trinidad November 8 9, 2011
2 OVERVIEW OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE 2
3 INTRODUCTION Energy Services are required to meet basic human needs and for productive processes: Energy is key to economic and social development. Currently each CARICOM Member State depends heavily on fossil fuel to satisfy energy services: Globally 85% of primary energy fueling the economies come from combustion of fossil fuels IPCC Special Report. GHG emissions associated with the burning of fossil fuel for the provision of energy services are a major cause for concern: Use of fossil fuels accounts for 56.6% of all anthropogenic GHG emissions IPCC Special Report.
4 ENERGY CONVERSION CHAIN Significant energy losses (inefficiencies) and GHG emissions occur during the energy conversion chain from: exploitation refining transportation end use Source: Robert Evans: Fueling Our Future: An Introduction to Sustainable Energy
5 OPTIONS FOR LOWERING GHG EMISSIONS Energy Conservation and efficiency Supply and end use Fuel Switching From fossil fuel to natural gas Carbon Capture and Storage Capturing CO 2 from large point sources and storing in a way that it does not enter the atmosphere Renewable Energy Median values for RE range from 4 46 g CO 2 eq/kwh Fossil Fuels range from 469 1,001 g CO 2 eq/kwh
6 SUSTAINABLE ENERGY vs. RENEWABLE ENERGY SUSTAINABLE SOURCES Long term availability to satisfy present and future consumption needs. Replenishable without human intervention. Energy Efficient the amount of energy consumed to exploit the available resources should not exceed the amount of energy these resources produce. RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES clean (do not pollute the environment during consumption) have minimum impact on human health and the ecosystems. 6
7 BACKGROUND ON REGIONAL ENERGY SECTOR 7
8 ENERGY CONSUMPTION PATTERNS World Bank Study completed a study in 2010 titled: Interconnection of Electricity Systems and Fuel Strategy. The projections are: Energy Demand is expected to double in the next 20 years. Average annual growth rate for the region is 3.7%. Population Growth Increased Economic Activity Higher Energy Use

Three facilities producing about 6 MW. Over 3 MW installed at two sites. EARLY STAGE DEVELOPMENT 154 MW plant at Amaila Falls on the Kuribrong River Picture shows Richmond Weir in St. Vincent & the Grenadines POTENTIAL Significant Significant Modest 98.5 MW Over 7000 MW 23
24 MEMBER STATE JAMAICA ST. KITTS & NEVIS ST. VINCENT & THE GRENADINES BARBADOS OPERATIONAL Wigton Windfarm has installed capacity of 38.7 MW. Munroe windfarm has 3 MW commissioned October MW wind farm was commissioned at Maddens, Nevis in August WIND EARLY STAGE DEVELOPMENT Picture of the collapsible wind turbine in Nevis POTENTIAL Important fact: The Wigton Windfarm project is a registered CDM project with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The project has been trading carbon credits under an Emissions Reduction Purchase Agreement (ERPA) with the Dutch Government since MW wind farm to be commissioned in 2012 PPA signed. 7.2 MW Wind Park in grid-parallel operation is planned at Ribishi Point. The development of a 10 MW wind farm at Lambert is being studied. RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS IN CARICOM 24
25 MEMBER STATE Available in all Member States. OPERATIONAL SOLAR Many small scale installations at demonstration and domestic use (solar technology is used to improve energy access in several Member States). EARLY STAGE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL Significant for both centralized and decentralized energy use. Barbados Approx. 50,000 Solar Hot Water Systems installed to date Barbados is saving: 21,400 metric tons of CO2 = 5.6% of all carbon emissions in Barbados. (Source: James Husbands presentation) Images show 2500 Watts Photovoltaic system installed in Guyana s hinterland The potential market is 2,282,500 solar hot water systems within CARICOM (Source: Husbands presentation) James
26 MEMBER STATE BELIZE GUYANA OPERATIONAL BIOMASS / BIOFUEL 31.5 MW plant installed by Belcogen that produces electric power from the burning of bagasse MW excess power is sold to the national grid. 2 X 15 MW turbines installed at the Guyana Sugar Corporation Skeldon Sugar factory for generation of power from burning bagasse for its own use. 8 MW is to be sold to the national grid from Biodiesel produced and used in power plant in the hinterland. JAMAICA In November 2008 the E10 fuel programme was launched - a blend of 10% ethanol from sugar cane and 90% 87 octane gasoline. EARLY STAGE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIA L Significant Significant 26
27 OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CONVERSION MEMBER STATE OPERATIONAL EARLY STAGE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL The Bahamas In September 2011 the Bahamas Electricity Corporation signed an MOU with Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation of the USA to design and construct two OTEC plants of between 5 10 MW.
28 MEMBER STATE WASTE TO ENERGY OPERATIONAL EARLY STAGE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIA L BARBADOS Agreement between the Government of Barbados and Sustainable Barbados Recycling Centre allows for the diversion of waste from landfilling. Phase II includes the Design, construction and operation of a 2-5 MW electricity generating plant. Significant 28
29 CONCLUSIONS The question of the effectiveness of CDM as a financing mechanism remains a lingering one. Why to date only one RE project in the Region receives revenue from carbon trading credit? There needs to be continuous evaluation, monitoring and refashioning of the mechanism to ensure it is fulfilling its objectives. Countries / projects in the region should not pursue carbon financing on a standalone basis. There needs to be a regional coordinating agency that will oversee the bundling of projects to achieve economies of scale.
